Hello beautiful ladies!
Feels awesome to back in sunny singapore after a gruelling 4 weeks in insanely negative temperatures! I finally scheduled my first gynae appt for this Friday - I think this is my 9th week. So far, manageable nausea - haven't physically puked even once but yes, certain smells feel strange. At the expense of sounding dumb, what is an oscar test? I'm 29 going on 30 this year and this is my number 1. Do I need it?

Hi Jascmy,
Welcome!
LMP is your last menstral period - ie, the first day of your last period.

Thanks Angel Sim.
As for me, I don't have MS. But I do have HS (Hungry sickness). Once I feel a little hungry (after 2 hrs of full meal), I will feel like vomiting. Once I got my food, I will eat like 10 yrs never eat before (thats how my hubby descript me). I think my tummy will grow very fast not bcos of my BB but bcos I'm putting on lots of weight from eating.
I will feel super bloated after having my milk at night. Last night even wanted to puke out all my milk but I try to stand straight for it to go down instead of coming out.I hate to drink milk now. But no choice have to drink. 2 cups a day.
I'm also 29 and going on to 30 this year. And I'm having my 1st BB now.

Re : Oscar
What is an OSCAR screening?
OSCAR, or One-stop Clinic for Assessment of Risk for Fetal Anomalies is a combination test offered in the first trimester to screen for risk of fetal anomalies, in particular Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21). It involves a Nuchal translucency (NT) scan and a blood test.
An OSCAR screening will allow you to find out sooner if your baby has a high risk of chromosomal defects.
The results will be calculated and depending on whether you have a high risk or not, you can decide if you want further invasive testing such as CVS. OSCAR screenings are optional and you can discuss it with your doctor if you wish to have the test.

Thanks Angela for the info re Oscar. I will ask my gynae and see what he recommends...
Jascmy, I have HS too - my brother in law calls my baby Yokozuna and insists that if it is a boy above 7 pounds he is calling him Yokozuna cos I'm eating all the time and no one understands where the food is going! haha

sunflower,
i always feel bloated after eating, then will *suddenly* turn hungry after about 2 hours. hence i have to ensure that i have a supply of 'safe' snacks with me all the time. some of the things which i cannot tahan are yakult, soy bean milk, cheese and anything oily/garlicky/onions. last nite my hb tabao macdonald's home, i nearly died!
i was also contemplating about the OSCAR test - whatever the results we will not change our decisions (unless something else more serious is detected, e.g. not viable). anyway the test includes a compulsory blood test for HIV, Hep A/B which is required by the government so we decided to go ahead with it anyway.

Angel, thats a nice name. hahaa.... I really hope its my BB putting on the weight instead of me. But hor, BB cannot put on too much weight too. I can;t really stop myself from eating leh, if I control myself and I feel hungry, my HS will come. I feel terrible when what to vomit but can't vomit it out.
Anyone can suggest on what are the safe snacks to keep with us esp at our workstation.
I have my wholemeal crackers at my workstation but I don't like the taste of it and its not filing at all. Maybe my appetite is too big.

Yes I'm pretty lucky too - due to our crazy work constraints, we got a maid about 3 months ago so I don't really have to cook anymore.
Healthy snacks...Hmmm maybe cheese with the crackers Jascmy? But not brie or any of the soft cheeses as those have enzymes not healthy for preggies. Cheddar or Mozza (mozerella) is okay though. Also yoghurt is supposed to be really good.

Sunflower,
I also dunno good places for maternity clothes, only know that suntec city near spring got a number of maternity shops... i was lucky that previously, like to buy abit flare and baby doll tops so now need to worry about bottom only...
u know a japanese shop named "uniqlo", there's 1 in ion and 313 @ somerset, they're selling this bottom, they call it leggings but the material is pants and jeans, it's without zip but elastic band, with our long top that cover the waist it looks exactly like jeans or pants... now with my waistline increase, that suits just nice for me...

Oh ya, so have to go buy some cheese and yoghurt.
I'm ok with the smells, sometimes I will cook but most of the time we will eat outside or at my in-law's house. I'm too tired to cook after work. Somemore now with BB, I feel more tired then usual. I'm yawning since morning till now, eyes also want to close liao. Whole body no strength at all. Hope can knock off immediately.
Think BB is now using all our energy to build his/her bones, fresh, skin and organs now. Thats y so tired.

re: Maternity clothes
For my last pregnancy, I managed to get some nice pieces from this shop called "Perfect Mum", and also spree from websites like oldnavy.com. otherwise if you have relatively small built, you can get away with babydoll tops and loose-fitting dresses until about 6 mths before it starts to look obscene... hahaha

Not too sure about Maternity clothes. I picked up a pair of pants from Canada but still don't really need them as my dresses still fit me fine.
I am considering checking out http://www.maternityexchange.sg when the time comes though. Apparently you can rent clothes from them - I think it's better to rent than to buy cos I hate repeating clothes and this way my wardrobe can be new every couple of weeks rather than buy a few basic pieces and wear for 4 - 5 months cos of saving $$. More practical la.

angela,
yes, i think i rem u were in my fb previously. i noticed sometimes ppl on fren's list just 'dropped out' for no reason. anyhow, feel free to add me again. [email protected] (pls indicate ur nick here k) thx!
fumiko & other mtb,
do u think its necessary to have our LMP on the chart? cos i see that some of us may have the same EDD but different LMP. i also see that other threads are only using the EDD info and replaced the LMP colume with the gender of bb (which we will know in 1-2mths). so what do u all think??

Morning ladies! Been a while since I check on this thread. Been so busy with work n too tired to surf at nite.
Sorry to hear about vivi. Hope she will b strong.
My next gynae visit is end jan, when I'm 10 weeks. A very long wait! Not sure whether the bb is doing ok. Making me a bit depressed.
I'll b doing the oscar test. Usually how much does it cost?
I feel so sian at work. How I wish I can just stay at home n nua. Boss keep pushing work to me, hardly had spare time to breath.
Anyway, for ms mummies, do eat regular small meals n eat heathily, even before u sleep.I read that taking vit b6 will help to relieve nausea but do check w gynae though.I've been following the eat small regulary n somewhat ease my nausea. Only vomitted twice last week. None for this week yet.
Oh, wat is post natal massage? How does it help mummies ar?
